How to fix mincraft luncher and bedrock not working win11

Hi cooper chapman,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Thank you for sharing the details and screenshots. When Minecraft appears in Task Manager with GameLauncherHelper running but no game window opens, it usually means a required Windows gaming component isn’t responding correctly. This can prevent the launcher from handing off to Minecraft Bedrock.

Here are some possible troubleshooting steps that you can try in this case:

1, Reinstall Xbox Gaming Services

• Open PowerShell as Administrator then run:

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

• Install Gaming Services from the Microsoft Store- Restart Windows

2, Reset Microsoft Store cache

• Press Win + R, type WSReset and press Enter
• Wait for the Store to reopen automatically

3, Repair or reset Minecraft Launcher

• Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps
• Select Minecraft Launcher
• Open Advanced options
• Click Repair (if needed, click Reset)
